Chapter 299: The Flower Grower

"When you grow up and still insist on choosing this, I'll help you convince your mom and dad."

"Yay! Thank you, Auntie!"

Tang Can was happy!

She skipped out of the hospital with Su Yu. Tang Tang had already taken leave for Tang Can, so Tang Can didn't have school today.

"Ruanfufu, let's go to your house to play!"

"Okay!"

Su Yu held Tang Can's hand and got into their family car. The two went home and played in the toy room.

In the afternoon, Ji Tianlin took Su Yu and Tang Can to see the house model that he had the Su Clan and his company staff build that morning.

"Xiao Yu, when your projects officially launch, they can be synced into the game. Watching can earn game token rewards. If someone has high popularity in the game, the game can also invite them to be spokespersons, or buy their songs, or even make 3D mini-figures of them at scale. What do you think?"

Ji Tianlin genuinely wanted his daughter and granddaughter's career to develop! The longer they stayed in this industry, the closer their relationship with him would be, and the greater the chance they would take over his company in the future!

Tang Can looked in surprise at the data model Ji Tianlin displayed.

"This is so cute!"

The scale mini-figures retained human appearances but were optimized in many ways, making them look even cuter than real people!

Of course, a doll just like Ruanfufu definitely wouldn't be as cute as Ruanfufu!

Su Yu was very proud. "People are visual creatures. For the initial online concerts, they don't have to show their faces—they can all use these mini-figures, and everyone just listens to the voices. That way, everyone can pick the truly talented one!"

Ji Tianlin was a bit worried. "Xiao Yu, what if someone substitutes or cheats?"

At first, things might be fine. But once Su Yu's operation grew big, there would always be people wanting to take shortcuts on her side. Ji Tianlin didn't have the status he used to; there were some companies he couldn't afford to offend! Ji Tianlin worried that Su Yu would be made a scapegoat by those people, her reputation ruined.

"I've already thought it through! We can livestream simultaneously—those who want to watch the mini-figures can watch the mini-figures, and those who want to watch real people can watch real people."

Adults had to consider so much, but a child of course wanted everything!

Anyway, the family had money. "Grandpa, this kind of operation requires very high-end equipment. Does Grandpa have reliable partners?"

"Of course!"

Ji Tianlin was already mentally sorting through potential partners.

Tang Can played on the computer for a bit, and after looking at the different rooms, she tentatively said, "Ruanfufu, is your grandpa investing in your project?"

Su Yu didn't know whether this counted as investing? Ji Tianlin and Xu Mingyue had said they were giving the money to Ji Yan to use. Su Yu had originally planned to spend her own money.

"Grandpa, is this an investment?"

Ji Tianlin shook his head without hesitation. "No, the money put in is pocket money I'm making up to you and your mom! I haven't given you pocket money for so many years, so I'll make up for it this time!"

"Yay, thank you, Grandpa!"

【Grandpa is the best!】

Ji Tianlin smilingly patted Su Yu's head. "You wait here, Grandpa will go arrange for people and find the best equipment!"

"Okay!"

Tang Can heard Ji Tianlin's words and felt a bit deflated. She looked reluctantly at those models. These looked really impressive, and since Ruanfufu made them, they would definitely make money, right? Too bad she couldn't invest!

"Can Can, what's wrong?"

【Why is she suddenly unhappy?】

Tang Can didn't want to burden Ruanfufu, so she casually thought of a question to ask Su Yu. "Ruanfufu, should my kitty castle be added in too?"

Su Yu thought for a moment. "That's a good idea! We can have Grandpa add a customized cat or dog figure, and your and Huo Huo's castle can be promoted together!"

Su Yu thought of this great idea and immediately went out to find Grandpa.

Ji Tianlin also thought it was feasible! Most cat and dog lovers weren't short on money! The pet industry was an emerging industry with relatively large profit margins. If they could customize and sell or rent pet figures, his desktop and game app would probably become even more popular!

"Xiao Yu, Grandpa has to go get busy. You two little friends play by yourselves, okay!"

Ji Tianlin left, and Su Yu and Tang Can returned to the toy room to play on their own.

"It's too hot, otherwise we could go to the amusement park to play!"

The equipment over there was all covered with protective film. If the weather got any hotter, the equipment would have problems.

"Ruanfufu, how is your family's flower room still so beautiful? My grandpa took flowers out to show off, and so many got sunburned—half dead! Why does Grandpa love arguing with Grandpa Ye next door so much? Grandpa's liking is so cheap!"

Tang Can drooped her head, lying on the toy room's large bay window, looking at the flower room not far away.

"Do you want to go over and see the flowers?"

"Yes!"

"Then let's go over!"

Su Yu and Tang Can went to the flower room to play. The two got on the air-conditioned car at the villa entrance and only got off at the flower room door.

"Phew, it's so hot!"

Tang Can and Su Yu entered the flower room, and the fresh fragrance of plants and the cool breeze from the air conditioning soothed away the irritability of the scorching sun.

"Ruanfufu, these flowers are so beautiful!"

Su Yu nodded. "Yes, very beautiful!"

Gardenias, jasmine, roses, and more were placed in various areas of the flower room.

"Ruanfufu, I'm going to get busy from now on, and I'll have even less time to play with you!"

"What are you going to be busy with?"

【Tang Can is quite smart, isn't she? Isn't she handling her studies with ease?】

"I'm going to work hard to take over the family business and become a flower grower!"

Tang Can felt that maybe she was still young and overthinking things. But she still had to prepare for the worst! Grandpa was currently satisfied with her as his granddaughter, but if Mom and Dad had another little brother or sister, would Grandpa be satisfied with them too?

Grandpa kept saying he loved flowers and often spent a lot of money buying them, but the flowers he carefully selected and tended to every day were tossed aside when he argued with Grandpa Ye.

Tang Can had seen it so much that she inexplicably projected herself onto those flowers. Would her status end up like the flowers Grandpa raised?

Tang Can wasn't sure, and didn't dare to ask!

What she wanted to do was study hard and protect herself! Ruanhuhu was right before — she was a person, she could refuse, and didn't have to be at others' mercy like a flower!

"Okay, Can Can is so great!"

Su Yu clapped "pa-pa"! She fully supported her little friend's idea! If she still had any sense of shame, she'd even have wanted to say — Can Can, work hard, and support her too while you're at it?

Having set the ideal of becoming a "flower-raiser," Tang Can now found looking at these flowers a pure delight.

"The flower room is so big!"

The flowers in the flower room were arranged by zones, and every kind of flower came in no small quantity.

"Yes! After the flowers here wilt, Uncle Steward will arrange for everyone to pick them and make sachets and dried flowers. If Mama wants essential oil, fresh petals can be used to make it on the spot. Does Can Can want to try making essential oil? It'll be ready very soon!"
